Israeli media: Israel withdrew delegation from ceasefire talks
Israel has not sent a delegation to the latest truce talks in Cairo, after learning that Hamas has withheld a list of the remaining hostages in its captivity.
Israel says the list of hostages is essential as only then will it confirm the number of Palestinian prisoners that Israel must release. Local Israeli media confirmed Tel Aviv's absence from the Cairo talks, quoting senior officials. A senior Hamas official said on Sunday that a ceasefire could be secured within 24 to 48 hours, if Israel accepts Hamas' demands.
On Saturday, a US official claimed that Israel has 'more or less accepted' a 6-week-ceasefire, and that it's now up to Hamas. Mediators have been scrambling to secure a truce deal before the start of Ramadan.
